Facebook’s IPO is expected to raise $100 billion. Or you could buy 2,000 fighter jets, sign Albert Pujols for 4,000 years or buy RIM, 11 times.

Feel like building up enough air power to take over most countries? How about signing baseball superstar Albert Pujols for four millennia?

With social media giant Facebook reported to be on the verge of an initial public offering that’s expected to fetch up to $100 billion, you could be excused for wondering what else you could buy for that kind of cash. A lot, it turns out.

Think of it as a (much) larger version of that daydream many of us have had, entitled “what would I buy if I won the lottery?”

Here are some of the things you could buy or do with Facebook’s purchase price:

• 2,000 F16E fighter jets

• 1 million entries into the World Series of Poker

• Sign baseball star Albert Pujols to a 4,000-year contract, at a mere $25 million per season
